The INSIDER Summary:
- "Westworld" is currently in production for its second season.
- HBO said new episodes will air in spring 2018.
- That might mean an April premiere date, though nothing is set in stone.
"Westworld" fans are eagerly awaiting news of the series' second season, currently set to premiere nearly a year and a half after the mind-bending season one finale.
"The Emmy-nominated series is currently in production for its second season, debuting in spring 2018," HBO announced in July.
The precise spring 2018 air date is still a mystery, but we believe HBO might use "Westworld" for their Sunday night schedule beginning in April. This was historically when "Game of Thrones" used to premiere. But with "Game of Thrones" not returning until possibly 2019, it's possible HBO uses that spring slot for "Westworld."
The first trailer for season two of "Westworld" premiered at San Diego Comic-Con. The new footage teased an all-out robot rebellion inside the park with Dolores and Teddy gunning down guests.
Other events we can expect on season two include the return of Jimmi Simpson's portrayal of William (aka the Man in Black) and a larger role for Talulah Riley's host-character Angela.
The new trailer also teased the possibility of a new park, "S-World," being introduced to the narrative. But for now, many mysteries remain — including the exact air date for season two.
